    My laptop doesn't update very often and I'm not bothered by it.
    I have no reason to install the updates and if I did want them I'd do so . All it does is waste bandwidth for me.

    TBH I'm probably bothered more by browser updates. Firefox in particular seems to become frequently unstable/sluggish if I don't update when one is available, and web pages etc acting strange.

    Like I said you should be using an old OS that doesn't have updates now.
    What you're doing is nearly the same thing.

    Firefox has gotten progressively worse since they changed their update model.

    You could manually check for updates and still not install them up until recently.

    Upgrade your speed if it isn't fast enough.

    If you're actually talking about data then don't have a plan with a cap. I haven't been near a capped plan for decades.

    Yeah but if it's updated it still works best with a lot more websites compared to other options.
    I still use it mainly, but also have Opera for some sites that I need to use VPN.

    Chrome I did have for a little bit but it was a pain on a bunch of sites. Attachments/images not working and other issues. It was like using a phone

    Not to mention privacy concerns. I hardly use Google at all now, it's just a last resort if I'm desperate to find something.

    Thanks. I knew about the GPE method but hadn't done it since it's not installed by default on W10 Home. I found a bat to install it so I'll give that a try now.

    Come to think of it, I think GPE is only available for Pro upwards. If you're on the Home version, you can Google how to enable it on Home.

    The script I found to install it worked fine and I toggled updates off. I'll go online with it at some point and see if it's behaving.
